For this Christmas week episode, we’re joined by our Pin Pal Megan Sunday to discuss 1997’s Borrowed Hearts, a movie that just loves committing HR violations. Along the way we talk about Angel Long Cons, whether little girls care how their parents met, and the potentially kinky sex games between Roma Downey and Eric McCormack. It’s a heartwarming tale for the whole family.
Listen to more of Megan on the Let’s Get Weirding podcast at letsgetweirding.libsyn.com or wherever you get podcasts.
On this week’s episode, we find out if we actually do love a giant, goofy-looking turtle by discussing the 1998 family comedy Everyone Loves Mel (suggested by friend and former guest Christy Admiraal). This movie has so many things to love: a surly teen, a wily grandpa, a greedy land developer, a giant turtle that can… well, you’ll see. We critique Roger’s singing skills, Mom and Dad’s parenting skills, and Grandpa’s secret-keeping skills, as well as speculate about what other special abilities Mel might possess.
Gena from the Kill by Kill podcast joins us to wrap up Dog Cainmas to discuss The Three Dogateers, a Christmas movie that forgets it’s a Christmas movie for at least half its runtime. This movie’s got it all: bizarre commercials featuring Santa Claus, an insane dog catcher, Dean Cain singing to a jelly donut (seriously). This is a perfect way to cap off the holiday season and close out the absolutely insane year that was 2017.
Skinner reacts to the insane trailer for upcoming dog-returns-from-the-dead-to-help-his-owner-get-married film Best Friend From Heaven, while Josh laughs along gleefully.

Our friend Christy Admiraal (@AdmiralChristy on twitter) joins us to discuss A Dog for Christmas, a movie with Dean Cain, Dustin Diamond, Santa Claus, and (maybe?) a dog. It is a TERRIBLE film, but we have a blast discussing it.
On this week’s episode, Skinner’s daughter Holly bestows upon us a magical tale of a cute talking cat, an evil real estate agent and an old man who brings robots to life. What was that last part, again? Don’t worry, it’ll all be explained (it won’t be explained)!
This movie was suggested by friend of the show Spencer Seams (who co-hosts Akira Kurosawa podcast High & Low) and boy oh boy, it is not good. Still, there are good goofs within this episode and a special appearance by Skinner’s daughter, who is just the best. You should listen for her commentary alone.
There’s fewer goofs than normal in this one mostly because (SPOILER ALERT) we really enjoyed this movie! Listen in to find out if, in fact, Deidra and Laney do rob a train (SPOILER ALERT: yep!).
We venture into the world of family-friendly animal movies with the Casper Van Dien film Army Dog. Don’t let the title or marketing materials fool you: there’s not a lot of army to be found in this one. This movie completely blindsided us, and everything we predicted for this one is better than what it actually is. So enjoy?
